Composting Question
In the FAQ, use of a general purpose fertiliser as an accelerator is
mentioned. Is something like growmore appropriate which is largely insoluble in water due to its slow release characteristics or should I look for ammonium nitrate in its soluble form? I know I could pee on it but I do have to respect the neighbours lol My current heap is not rotting down at all well and is predominantly autumn leaves and I'm starting to add grass cuttings which I read can be a problem. I'm planning to water it and hence the thought of adding soluble nitrogen. tia Bob |

If the heap is in a suitably secluded spot, the bottle/jar/w.h.y? may be discarded. HTH, AHANP -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
